    I don't know the full details of it yet, OH just told me today. With this day and age I suppose she could have got a picture using a camera phone. I know OH's family won't be going there anymore, and I love Subway but that's definitely put me off.


    so they're boycotting Subway because somebody cut the bread open and left a knife in there?

    Why? It was a mistake. And they tried to make up for it by giving out vouchers.

    Maybe the person who prepared the sandwich was just distracted for a split second or maybe it was a stressed-out new-start? It's really no big deal, is it?

    The sandwiches in subway are prepared in front of you. It's not as though they go through a metal detector to detect missing knives!

    Are you and your other half's family all perfect and never make mistakes?

    You could ask why they didn't notice this whilst watching it be prepared.
  • Going to the papers is a bit over the top...

    Surely if you got no joy from the shop staff take it up with HQ staff and then maybe the papers as a last resort??

    Did you know that Subway have 27360 Restaurants In 85 Countries!! I wonder how many other countries have lost knifes.....

    THE SUBWAY® CHAIN NOW HAS MORE OUTLETS IN THE UK AND IRELAND THAN KFC, BURGER KING AND PIZZA HUT

    What exactly does she want ? She got some vouchers and a free knife sounds like a result !

  • I really don't know why the local papers are involved to be honest.

    Perhaps it depends on the neighbourhood you live in - free knife with every sandwich might be the way to go the way this country is coming to.:confused:
